BerqWP Reviews

I first tested some sites on BerqWP's URL tester on their homepage and their predicted improvements were already too good to be true, so I got a free plan to test with and the plugin did even better.

Bought Tier 6 and have installed it on at least 10 sites already with amazing results. Tried WP Rocket, Flying Press, W3 Total Cache Pro, Litespeed Cache, Super Page Cache, Perfmatters, NitroPack, Seraphinite Accelerator, Autoptimize, Asset CleanUp Page Speed Booster PRO and more.... yes I have tried them all.

Not sure what kind of AI scientific wizardry BerqWP is using, but it easily beats all the above performance enhancers out of the box. Only NitroPack comes close, but NitroPack gets expensive for larger sites with lots of pages. Only setup changes made were changing to Aggressive Mode and Enabling free Cloudflare account integration. BerqWP includes a speedy CDN (digitalocean) and integration with free Cloudflare accounts to enable Cloudflare's Edge Caching. Cloudflare Pro accounts are compatible, but not Enterprise or Cloudways Cloudflare Enterprise add-on. This is because BerqWP needs to control the entire page caching process which means no other page caching can be in use or you'll get a "Cache is disabled" warning.

Every site I have installed this on had incredible GTMetrix and Google Page Speed Insights (PSI) scores. By incredible, I mean 98-100 mobile and 99-100 desktop on almost every site I installed it on (no sites were <92). Now if BerqWP could also fix my accessibility scores the same way!

As a fairly new product, sure it has a few things that could be better like real time caching progress status (currently need to refresh page constantly), large sites with 500+ pages can take a while to build the cache fully. Options are slim as they aren't needed, you'll save hours per site fiddling and tweaking a dizzying array of settings like in Litespeed Cache or WP Rocket only to get minimal gains after all that work.

Try BerqWP for yourself, guaranteed you'll be buying more tiers!

My Setup
• Purchased: Tier 5 LTD (May 2025) gonna be 6 to cover 100+ client sites; so far tested 3 sites.
• Onboarding: Wizard + four preset modes; basic config done in 30 min, but the “Speed Boost” full scan took 2–6 h per site.
• Stack Replaced: LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, EWWW, ShortPixel

Pros (Why I’m keeping my code)
• critical CSS, lazy‑load, JS delay, WebP, pre‑connect all fire automatically, matching Google’s web.dev best practices.
• Passes CWV out‑of‑the‑box; hit 92+ PSI mobile on two bloated Elementor builds without manual tweaks
• Clean UI & personas make it friendlier than the settings jungles of LiteSpeed or Swift.
• Rapid release cadence (v1.5.x weekly patches) shows devs squashing theme conflicts quickly .

Cons (Before you stack more codes)
• Long optimization queues; takes almost 6hours for one of site.
• Support I submitted ticket 1 day ago.

Road‑Map Wishes
1. Local‑first scan option to cut 6‑hour queues.
2. More stable system and give estimate time.

Should You Grab It?
• Solo builders / micro‑agencies: slam‑dunk—ditch your multi‑plugin Franken‑stack.
• Enterprise & mission‑critical shops: wait for faster scans + beefier support or pair with LiteSpeed cache.

For me, the savings and wins outweigh the slow first run, so I’m holding Tier 5—and eyeing Tier 6 if devs prove they can scale support along with their server farm.

To be honest, I was really surprised with the results. Coming from a wprocket, I did not expect this one to do even better. It has less options, and can be less "tweaked". But out of the box it provided excelent results. I'll upgrade tier, for sure.

Ok, I admit I was skeptical. I've been optimising slow WP websites on slow hosting for years. I've been through WP Rocket (my developer license ends in August), when that was too slow, I've tried Nitropack. I had to use Nitropack (US$21 per month and I pay in AU$ with a terrible conversion rate) to get decent speeds on this one site.

Tried BerqWP for the Nitropack site and I'm seriously amazed and so happy.

Without BerqWP (or any cache plugin), the site loads at about 10 secs for homepage with awful pagespeed scores and core web vitals.

WITH BerqWP, I got the following:

GTMetrix:
Performance = A 100%
Structure = A 99%
LCP = 540 ms
TBT = 0ms
CLS = 0
TTFB = 0.57ms
Fully loaded time: 1.3s

Pagespeed Insights Mobile:

Performance = A 98%
Accessibility = B 81%
Best Practices = A 93%
SEO = A 92%
LCP = 2.1 secs
CLS = 0.054 (Green)

I'll be replacing WP Rocket with as many tiers as possible.

Amazing: The Ultimate Solution
I have never seen a cache plugin work like this! It significantly increased Google Page Speed ​​results. A constant increase in performance, noticeable even during simple navigation. It improved the score of some websites by up to 20 points compared to other plugins, finally obtaining "green scores" even on mobile devices where I had given up hope. It beats hands down any other plugin I have ever tried.
Easy to set up, it gives you the ability to adjust the level of "performance" of the optimizations and the differences between one setting and another are also visible in the tests (which is not trivial). Thank You for your work! Go on like this!
